Extrait

A clinical trial was conducted in 65 PLWH randomly allocated to receive standard hospital diet alone (Control group: n=33), or the diet combined with 100 g/day of RUTF (RUTF group: n=32). Individual dietary intakes were measured and compared to the Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA) for PLWH. Body composition was measured by bio-impedance analysis (BIA), hemoglobin by HemoCue and plasma zinc concentration by atomic absorption spectrometry and adjusted to infection (CRP and α1-AGP). All measures were conducted at baseline, 3 weeks and after 9 weeks home-based follow up.
